Rose+Bud by Rose Coogan

Finding yourself is never easy, having to find yourself as a closeted t-girl in a nightclub smoking area in Derry? Hellish.

Join Rose and Bud as they discover what it means to be yourself in the face of trauma, questionable men and a deep unabiding love of mirrors.

A journey of realisation, transition and perhaps, reconciliation. Journey inside the mind of Rose Coogan - a play about coming to terms with who you were, who you are and who you want to be.

Heartfelt and heart-breaking, a queer comedy about self-acceptance.

Commedia of Errors are delighted to present Rose+Bud a new play by Rose Coogan directed by Benjamin Gould. Developed and produced in association with the Lyric, Belfast. Debuting at Dublin Fringe 2024. Supported by Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

Rose+Bud was first developed with Lyric Theatre's New Playwrights Programme. Also developed at Scene + Heard.
